Japan Hamish Downie and Paul Leeming are two Tokyo-Based Australian Filmmakers best known for co-directing the music video for Robyn Loau’s “Never Let You Down”, from her “Only Human” album. Their Silent Hill fan film features Japanese Male Model/Karate Champion Zenta Ochi in the lead, who also starred in “Never Let You Down”.
It was shot to mimic the in game POV camera and as fans, they wanted to make it as accurate as possible to the world of Silent Hill, so there are lots of little nods to various parts of the mythology for those interested.
They also shot in an abandoned mining town where it could be made a strong case that was inspiration to the original game developers, in what used to be the hospital, so the eeriness factor was through the roof; especially considering the town was abandoned in 1974, the same year Silent Hill was supposedly abandoned after the fires.
